Commonwealth Electric Company of the Midwest’s Des Moines, IA, Service Team is thrilled to announce the completion of new track and field practice fields at Lincoln High School and East High School, both part of the Des Moines Public School district. This significant project, with a combined budget of half a million dollars, represents a substantial investment in the future of our students and the local community.

The project involved the construction of new turf practice fields at both schools. The scope of work included the installation of power and low voltage pathways, as well as the addition of parking lot and flagpole lights. At Lincoln High School, we also provided Musco Lights to enhance the field’s usability at night.

The project at East High School was completed in three months, while the Lincoln High School project took six months to finish. In the field, the project was led by Service Journeyman Logan Foetisch, who was supported by Service Manager Tom Washington and Service Coordinator Jenae Frisch in the office. Their teamwork and dedication were instrumental in the successful completion of these projects.

Throughout the project, our team fostered a positive working relationship with Turner, the General Contractor. This collaboration was crucial in ensuring the smooth execution of the project. The new practice fields will benefit the students at these schools, providing them with new facilities for their athletic training. While the fields are currently being used for practices, there is hope that they will host events in the future, further enhancing their value to the community.

The Des Moines Service Team is proud of the work done and looks forward to seeing the positive impact these new facilities will have on the students and the community.
